Hey guys,

I really like the look of the new SS YM2..but i'm thinking what can I use that 10min countdown complication for? Any ideas?

10 min until you can start the timer again!
10 min to think about what to time next!

You can adjust the timer to countdown less than 10 min.

Does it do anything when the countdown reaches zero? I'm totally unfamiliar with this watch.

If that statement encompasses your whole view of the YMII, you're missing out.....
Either way, wear a piece you like and enjoy, regardless of its attributes. It might just broaden the narrow minded and stagnant negativity of those who know better!

Does YMII have a ding sound telling you it's time?

I would doubt if many are actually used in the sport of Yacht racing most would use some sort of electronic device for that.
